Malaysian Punk Rock Veterans Dirty Divider Release New EP ‘Rebel Scum’

Unlike many local punk rock bands these days, DD’s keep their roots at the late ’70s, and again unlike too many bands, they did it without copying a certain band or a certain sound; sadly an extremely rare quality nowadays. in here 6 tracks you could hear hints of THE DAMNED, THE MISFITS, THE METEORS, all delivered with that murky, dark, gloomy climate of post-punk. if there’s a complaint, that would be the vocals department on a few of the songs, could have been better, otherwise, this is a great, fresh local release that sounds like no other. ‘gganu punk rock, people! always something to be proud of!”

Joe had this to say about the label putting out the release:

“Thanks to District Records for this. If you didn’t know it District has been very active of late, releasing mostly East Coast recordings, including a surprise EP by a reunited SPEAKS, a band from the mid-90s Cukai, Kemaman which later birthed great noughties bands such as KUCHALANA and LOVE AS ARSON, etc. after listening to DD’s tracks, do check out their other releases too.”
